Radio Scarborough Application Radio Scarborough application 1 Station Name Guidance Notes What is the proposed station name? This is the name you expect to use to identify the station on air. Radio Scarborough 2. Community to be served Guidance Notes Define the community or communities you are proposing It is a legislative requirement that a service is intended to serve. Drawing from various sources of data (e.g. from primarily to serve one or more communities (whether or the Office of Population, Census and Survey) and in not it also serves other members of the public) and we need relation to your proposed coverage area, please determine to understand who comprises that community or the size of the population concerned and the make-up of communities. The target community will also be specified in the population as a whole, along with any relevant socio- the licence, if this application is successful. economic information that would support your application. The legislation defines a ‘community’ as: people who live or (Please tell us the sources of the information you provide.) work or undergo education or training in a particular area Answer in fewer than 300 words: or locality, or people who have one or more interests or characteristics in common. Radio Scarborough has been broadcasting a full range of programmes, of appeal to everyone who lives and works in the Borough of Scarborough, as well as the many tourists who visit the borough each year, since 2013. Whilst somewhat disjointed at the outset, over the last three years, RS has increased its focus on community matters, beyond measure. The Borough of Scarborough covers 315 square miles and has a population of 110,000 residents and over 58,000 households. As we have refined our coverage, we have attempted to cover all of the outlying areas, as well as the main centres of Scarbrough and Whitby There are approximately 45 miles of Heritage Coastline in which are located the three main towns of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey. The borough extends from the coastline, inland, to the village of Yedingham which is just SE of the town of Pickering. The population demographics are: 0-14 15.5% 15-24 10.9% 25-44 22.6% 45-64 29.8% 65+ 21.2% The social grades are: AB 22.4% C1 30.4% C2 24.7% DE 22.5% Whilst there are small pockets of wealth across the Borough, we are more commonly known for our positioning as a super output area with a high number of wards experiencing multiple indicators of deprivation. For a large % of the year, unemployment is higher than the national average with seasonal employment having a significant impact on the town’s economy. The Borough of Scarborough has a substantially ageing population, known as a popular coastal retirement destination. As a result we have increasing challenges with loneliness and isolation as many older people find themselves, away from family/support networks and restricted to their own homes/immediate community. 3. Proposed area Guidance Notes What is the area you propose to serve? Although we believe it is helpful to set guidance that frequency availability may often limit transmission powers Radio Scarborough application to around 25 watts and the coverage radius to around 5km, we are adopting a more flexible approach and will consider applications for wider areas where applicants can demonstrate that the proposed coverage area will better serve the target community, and where it is technically possible. https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/1 01459/community-radio-future-licensing-technical-policy- statement.pdf A Radio Scarborough FM broadcast would be aimed at the entire Borough of Scarborough, encompassing the coastal towns of Whitby to the north, Scarborough central and Filey south of the borough, and include all the villages west, included within the Borough of Scarborough. Programmes and programme output: Definitions: Studio location: The studio from which the service will be broadcast should be located within the licensed area. Locally-produced: Locally-produced output is output made and broadcast from within the service’s licensed coverage area. (It is anticipated that most stations will produce the bulk of their output themselves, in the locality. However, for some target communities it may be appropriate for fairly high levels of output to originate from outside the licensed area.) Live output: is that which is produced by a presenter in the studio at the time of broadcast. (The amount of live output may vary between different services depending on the needs or expectations of the target community.) Original output: output that is first produced for and transmitted by the service, and excludes output that was transmitted elsewhere before. Original output can be live or voice-tracked. Repeat broadcasts of original output do not count towards the minimum requirement. Peak time: it may be helpful to state what material will be broadcast in ‘peak time’. If you do, please say what you consider peak time to be for your target community (this may vary from station to station). Automated output/voice-tracked material: most stations will carry automated output at some time. The amount of automated or voice-tracked material does not need to be specified in the Key Commitments. Sustaining service/third party produced material: if you intend to broadcast material produced by a different organisation please state what it is and how much (per day or week as appropriate). 4. Programming output Guidance Notes Please fill-in all three questions below The law requires applicants to state their proposals for Question A asks you to describe your programme service. providing a service that would: Question B relates to how your output will serve the tastes (i) cater for the tastes and interests of members of its and interests of your target community. target community or communities (or for any particular tastes and interests in those communities); Question C is about how your service will broaden the range of local (non-BBC) services available in your area.

Ofcom is also required to consider the extent to which proposals for a community radio station would broaden the range of programmes available by way of non-BBC local services (both commercial and community stations) in the area concerned (especially, the extent to which a proposed service would have a distinct nature or provide distinct content from any overlapping non-BBC local services). The information given here should be more detailed than what you set out in your draft key commitments (later in this form), and will help us gain a fuller understanding of how you will serve your target community and what the station will sound like. 4. Programming output A: Please tell us about your programme service. The following questions may help you describe your programme service (but should only be used as a guide): • What will the service sound like? • What music will you play? • What are the main speech elements of the service and how will the social gain/community benefits you propose be reflected on-air? • What is the likely music to speech ratio? • Will this vary at different times of the day or week (or year)? • Do you intend to broadcast live output? If so when and how much do you propose to do? • Will you broadcast in languages other than English (what languages and how much)? • Will your output be original i.e. specifically produced for your service? • Will it be locally produced? • Do you intend to repeat material? What will the service sound like? We are based at The Street, near to the town centre. We provide information and entertainment which includes a mixture of music and speech, relevant to our audience within the Borough of Scarborough Our music is rock/indie oriented pop during the daytime and cross genre during the evening, which we believe to be our peak-time. Speech content is broadcast during the day and evening. Speech content is currently around 30%, but we hope to increase that in a way that will be informative so that we can gain a good, strong, loyal and local audience. We focus on local issues, as well as regional, national and global subjects, in terms of affect our borough. RS broadcasts features such as weather, travel and what’s on information, together with chats and interviews with people from local organisations. We build every hour in such a way to reflect the many qualities of our borough. We encourage the community to have a sense of pride in the local area. We promote the variety and quality of life in our locality, from the sound of the busy market hall to events such as the Tour de Yorkshire going through the town.

  • Yorkshire Coast Radio (Scarborough and Bridlington)
    Section 355 Review of Output Yorkshire Coast Radio (Scarborough and Bridlington) Publication Date: 30 June 2020 Section 355 Review: Yorkshire Coast Radio (Scarborough and Bridlington ) Introduction When a local commercial radio licence undergoes a change of control (this includes licence transfer), Ofcom is required, under section 355 of the Communications Act 2003 (‘the Act’), to undertake a review of the effects or likely effects of the change of control in relation to: • the quality and range of programmes included in the service; • the character of the service, and; • the extent to which Ofcom’s duty under section 314 of the Act is performed in relation to the service. Ofcom’s duty under section 314 of the Act relates to securing the inclusion of an appropriate amount of local material, and a suitable proportion of locally-made programmes in the service. Under section 356 of the Act, where it appears to Ofcom from its review that the change of control would be prejudicial to any of the three matters listed above, then it must vary the licence, by including such conditions as it considers appropriate, with a view to ensuring that the relevant change of control is not so prejudicial. In doing so, any new or varied conditions must be such that the licence holder would have satisfied them throughout the three months immediately before the change of control. Ofcom is required to publish a report of its review, setting out its conclusions and any steps it proposes to take under section 356. Where Ofcom proposes to vary the licence, it is required to give the licence holder a reasonable opportunity to make representations about the variation.

  • Edition 10: 20Th September 2013
    Edition 10: 20th September 2013 Rugby World Cup 2015 Lead Up and Legacy Activity The RFU launched the seven strands of its national Lead up and Legacy plan on October 31st 2012. The aim of this is to set out an overall framework against which national resource will be invested in the lead up to RWC 2015 with the aim of increasing interest and participation in the game. Whilst many Clubs, CBs, Schools, Colleges, Universities and other bodies are working hard to develop local projects to meet identified local need these seven strands are areas in which we will invest national resource to create change in Rugby communities across the country. It is hoped that those delivery bodies that have not yet identified their focus will focus in on these areas and take action to improve provision and opportunities against these themes. Six Regional Activation and Legacy Groups are now up and running and are working to add value to the seven strands and to engage partners from outside of the immediate rugby community in supporting the efforts of those within it. Each group is populated by representatives from CBs and from the wider community. Attached as an appendix to this CB update is a brief overview of progress against the seven strands along with listings of clubs/projects etc involved to date – this will be updated for each issue. In addition to the work against the seven strands strong working relationships have been established with England Rugby 2015, the Organising Body for the tournament itself, and an update on relevant areas are also included in the appendix.

  • Karen Mantler by Karen Mantler
    Karen Mantler by Karen Mantler I was conceived by Carla Bley and Michael Mantler at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1965. Born in 1966, I was immediately swept into the musician's life on the road. After having checked me at the coatroom of the Berlin Jazz Festival, to the horror of the press, my parents realized that I was going to have to learn to play an instrument in order to be useful. But since I was still just a baby and they couldn't leave me alone, they had to bring me on stage with them and keep me under the piano. This is probably why I feel most at home on the stage. In 1971, when I was four, my mother let me have a part in Escalator Over The Hill and the next year I sang on another of her records, Tropic Appetites. By 1977 I had learned to play the glockenspiel, and I joined the Carla Bley Band. I toured Europe and the States with her several times and played on her Musique Mecanique album. After playing at Carnegie Hall in 1980, where I tried to steal the show by pretending to be Carla Bley, my mother fired me, telling me "get your own band". I realized that I was going to have to learn a more complicated instrument. After trying drums, bass, and flute, which I always lost interest in, I settled on the clarinet. I joined my elementary school band and quickly rose to the head of the clarinet section. The band director let me take the first improvised solo in the history of the Phoenicia (a small town near Woodstock, NY) elementary school.
